They mention shovels 90-100 tons - the largest strip shovel (in fact the
largest land machine ever to move under it's own power) was "The Captain",
which could move 180 cubic yards (over 250t) of overburden in one "bite".

  The largest land machine ever to move under its own power?  Heavens,
  no; not by a longshot:
